On March 6, Korean media outlets reported that actor Yoo Yeon-seok, known for his roles in hit dramas such as ‘Reply 1994,’ ‘Mr. Sunshine,’ and ‘Hospital Playlist,’ has been appointed as a professor at his alma mater, Sejong University.
The actor has been appointed a special professor and will teach the Multimedia Performance course to senior students majoring in Acting Arts in the Department of Film Art during the spring semester. The course focuses on teaching students to adapt their acting to the demands of different media environments, including theater, musicals, film, and TV dramas.

The actor enrolled in Sejong University’s Department of Film Art in 2003 to pursue his bachelor’s degree and later earned a Master of Fine Arts from the same department. He made his acting debut in the film ‘Oldboy’ (2003) and has since starred in many popular dramas.
